Rommel in fact died on 14 October 1944, but his death was connected with the attempted putsch on and subsequent to 20 July 1944, signalled by the attempt to assassinate Adolf Hitler on the same day, 79 years ago.
The motivations of the plotters were varied and, in some cases, complex. Some (including Canaris, Rommel etc) acted at least partly out of noble motivation. Treason is often thus.

Valid points, the least valid being that of freelance scribbler and talking head, Marina Purkiss, though her comment is in tune with the attitude of many, who think that all that matters is “how people did” in life (i.e. whether they became wealthy and/or famous), and that temporary worldly “success” validates, eg, a nonsensical “degree”, and/or falling standards made “OK” by award inflation.
Incidentally, Marina Purkiss thinks that “alright” is how one spells “all right“. Her “degree” in “marketing” from the University of Portsmouth seems to have failed to correct that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marina_Purkiss.
It may be that the time has come to revisit the whole mediaeval “degree” concept: first “degree”, “Master’s degree”, “Doctorate”, which designations align with the mediaeval guild idea— apprentice, journeyman, master craftsman (also later imported into freemasonry, of course).
Universities should promote both learning and research, and least of all be what they mostly now are, degree mills (of varying quality) where mainly young people get a piece of paper entitling them to at least try to make a living in various ways.
In the United States, they try to make people who are aiming at becoming medical doctors, or lawyers, less narrow by making them take a so-called “undergraduate degree” (lasting four years rather than the usual English three years) before even embarking on their professionally-focussed medical or legal studies.
The result of that is of doubtful utility (I having met numerous American lawyers, though not many doctors). It also means that the cost of becoming a doctor or lawyer in the USA, especially at the more prestigious institutions, is prohibitive. 7+ years of expense.
The cost, including subsistence, of going to somewhere like Harvard Medical School is at least USD $100,000 a year (about 3x an equivalent British example).
I am and always was far from being a supporter of Corbyn, but he makes some good points at times.
Liz Kendall, yet another Labour Friends of Israel MP-drone (and I think part-Jewish). Labour has nothing to say, nothing at all. Its trump card, though, is that it is not, nominally, the Conservative Party. Just that. Nothing more.
Labour MPs think that the Labour Party not being the Conservative Party (though pretty much espousing similar policies, or even the very same policies) will be enough to clinch the expected 2024 General Election. They may even be correct in that, but the fat lady has not yet sung.
They only have 2-3 months in which to make any substantial advance. After that, the snows of winter will come again.
Never mind…she is well-padded.
Prolific anti-national tweeter Matthew Sweet praises Jewish MP Nicola Richards.
Nicola Richards: prior to being selected/elected as MP at the early age of 24, Nicola Richards worked for the “Holocaust Educational Trust” and “Jewish Leadership Council”. She has been MP for West Bromwich East since 2019.
Nicola Richards succeeded “Labour” expenses cheat and freeloader Tom Watson as MP. Watson was/is, of course, a complete puppet of the Jew-Zionist lobby, apart from his other defaults.
See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicola_Richards; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_Sweet_(writer)
Nicola Richards has announced that she will not be standing at the expected 2024 General Election. As a nominally “Conservative” candidate, she would have had almost no chance of re-election anyway: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Bromwich_East_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2010s.
I see now that Nicola Richards was appointed PPS to Penny Mordaunt in 2022, which makes me wonder whether Ms. Mordaunt agrees with the Zionist views of Nicola Richards.
Nicola Richards was also appointed, in 2022, Co-Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group Against Antisemitism.
Nicola Richards has argued for the UK to proscribe Wagner Group [PMC Wagner].
Oh well, she will be gone after the next General Election. Good,.
Incidentally, National Front executive Martin Webster stood as candidate in that constituency in February 1974, scoring 7% of the vote (placed third after Labour and Conservative). I myself met Webster a couple of times in 1975, once at the NF HQ in some featureless part of South London in or near Thornton Heath, and once at Chelsea Old Town Hall. A controversial figure; hard to read.

In any case, what Britain, what England is SIS/MI6, MI5, the Army, the Navy, the Air Force really trying to “defend”, these days? Look around you. The migration invasion continues, with 20% of the UK population now non-white, and with most births now being non-white. The British people have been abandoned to forces of raceless and cultureless finance-capitalist globalism.

My quarrel with the “intervention” in Afghanistan is not that it happened, but that the “West” (NWO/ZOG) had no intention to rule the country, nor to improve it. What the “West” should have done was to ignore all local political and paramilitary leaders, eliminate them if they refused to knuckle down, destroy all armed elements within the country (including all individuals carrying arms more than 500 yards from their own homes), then rule the country directly and, if necessary, forcefully. Allow their Islamic religion but eliminate those using it as a cloak to attack modern European-origined civilization. Educate children, including girls.
Alexander the Great took over many countries, but then also ruled them, as did, in their day, the Romans, the British and other European peoples, the Soviet Union etc.
Seizing a country is just the first step. Establishing a lasting imperium is also essential. Napoleon understood that. He remade Europe in his own preferred image.
Afghanistan was too tough a nut in the end for Alexander’s successors, for the Mughals, and also the British, but the British of the 19thC did not have helicopters and drones.
There was an attempt, in and after 1979, by Soviet forces, to rule Afghanistan, to turn it into a semi-Soviet country. That failed partly, perhaps mainly, because the USA funnelled arms, ammunition, and money to the mujaheddin (including Osama bin Laden). The Americans interfered, and without that interference, the Soviet forces may well have prevailed.
The Americans (and Brits etc), never tried to properly rule Afghanistan or found a new society there (not outside parts of Kabul, at least), and never tried to fully suppress rebellion.
This is what happens when the msm validates cretins of that sort. It emboldens them.
Jesus H. Christ! He’s getting worse…If this continues, that stupid Kamala Harris creature might actually have to take over as President. We really are in uncharted waters from that moment.

So some terminally thick and profoundly ignorant ‘The Scum’ and Daily Mail reading, class A yobs and cretins, yet again, couldn’t control their emotions and decided to willfully attack environmental protesters.
Is there ANY form of law and order under the self-proclaimed ‘party of law and order’ AT ALL?
Still, those evil yobs have been encouraged to nearly murder others by yobbish Tory MPs, government ministers, including the so-called Home Secretary herself and the editors of those vile rags.
They need to stop before an ignorant ‘The Scum’ reading arsehole in their white van actually does MURDER one of those protesters.
If that does happen Tory MPs, government ministers and those editors should be in the dock for incitement to murder.

The only reason why any country should seek to invade Afghanistan is to try and lessen, or, preferably, eliminate its role as a major producer of heroin which is all too often losing many in the West their lives, health and contributing to higher crime rates.
Not for any other reason. Seeking to control it as a colony is futile anyway. The people there are amongst the most backward on the planet and will never improve. It isn’t even a nice place to establish a colony what with its ultra-high temperatures etc.
Some of our previous colonies at least had not just reasonably instead of extremely hot weather but also nice beaches ie Fiji, The Bahamas, Maldives etc.
Also, the peoples there do have a small capacity to improve under wise, British colonial leadership whereas Afghans really don’t.
Afghan immigrants to Germany have been the cause of numerous stabbings and gang rapes in cities such as Cologne

How typical of Zionist extremist Jews to rant about ‘anti-semitism’ blah, blah, blah. Unlike many conspiracy theories and particularly those connected with the worldwide pandemic of Covid-19 that one may have a grain of truth attached to it.
Simply put, it isn’t unreasonable at all to suggest different races of people are susceptible to Covid-19 at different rates. Are Askenazi Jews really saying they are exactly the same as white Europeans and don’t suffer from Tay-Sachs disease more often than other races? I thought this was a well-established medical FACT.
Other races suffer from other diseases at different rates to whites too. These are medical FACTS.
Contrary to globalist, ‘anti-racist’ propaganda, there ARE genetic differences between the world’s races. Skin colour is the most superficial and unimportant one.

Some countries in this world simply can’t be conquered even with the best will in the world. Afghanistan is one of them mainly due to the very rugged terrain. Basically, that country is a deathtrap for invading forces.

Chris E, Tobias Ellwood is an EU Remainer/EU Rejoiner but what about those Tories who hated the EU and advocated our exit?
Many of them hated our EU membership but don’t seem to have any abiding love for Britain ie they are globalists and are supportive of mass immigration. There are exceptions to this tendency but they are few in number.
You can be a supporter of Brexit AND be in favour of mass migration-invasion.
Boris Johnson thought Brexit was an excuse to increase globalism whereas most ordinary folks voted for Brexit because not only were they against our membership but were also against high levels of immigration.
The BBC did a rather illuminating survey after the referendum vote. In it, they found that the most consistent sign that somebody had voted Leave was if that person was in favour of the return of the hangman’s noose. Of course, there were people who voted Leave but were against capital punishment but even so that survey confirmed that most Leave supporters backed hanging and were generally-speaking socially conservative.

If the Tories wish to prevent any future government from taking Britain back into the EU there is a very simple way to do it ie remove us from the Council of Europe, the severely out of date and overly restrictive European Convention of Human Rights and restore the death penalty.
The EU won’t allow any European country with capital punishment on its books to apply for membership.
Mind you, having said that, a requirement for potential EU membership is that the applicant country is a genuine democracy and many Europeans might dispute our credentials in that regard seeing as we share the same, antiquated, profoundly undemocratic (when it is used on its own, unlike, as in Germany, as part of a mixed PR system) electoral system of FPTP as Putin’s only real friend in the world ie Belarus.

Yes, I believe some Israeli scientists either invented or did a great deal of research into bio weapons that would kill Palestinians but leave Israeli Jews alone.
I think you are correct in asserting that the Apartheid regime also did this kind of bio weapon research. I read a newspaper article to this effect once.
Yes, that research may have relocated to Israel. That country and Apartheid South Africa were the two ‘pariah’ states of the world and, mostly secrety, developed a strong, friendly relationship with each other because of that status. It is said that Israeli scientists helped Apartheid SA to develop a nuclear bomb.
On the other hand, such Israeli research into bio weapons may well have developed independently. Israel does have many scientists. Jews in Israel and elsewhere tend to score highly on average IQ scores.
